I bought the truck in 1999 from the original owner, it had 29,800 miles on it.the truck had 59,500 miles on it when this happened. I was driving the truck when the engine stopped and smoke came out from under the hood.i opened the hood to find that the main engine wiring harness along side of the engine valve cover had melted about eight wires together.the truck sat for several months before i had time to work on it.i separated the wires and put them back together and the truck would run, but not the way it should. I ended up taking it to the nissan dealer where it stayed for a few months and they tried several things to fix the truck but didn't. The dealer ended up saying that it needed a complete wiring harness, which is from bumper to bumper all one piece and the wiring harness would cost app. $1400.00 plus labor.i brought the truck back home where it sets today with 59,600 miles on it.
